The head grab and the "grab and hit" is a good tactical weapon against a much shorter fighter with a huge reach disadvantage. There's a frustration that sets in for the short opponent as they realize they're just being tossed around like a rag doll. They can't settle into a rhythm and eventually unravel into lunging in to avoid the grab. I'm not sure I'd call this a great fight. As I watched the fight it seemed headed towards an inevitable "bigger guy prevails" outcome.
